About the book >.>.> According to the field of reference the fruits of creative ima- gination may be called discovery invention creation inspired leadership or most beautifully of all the art of being a good mother. Yet whatever the field the art of cultivation and the pro- cess of growth remain essentially the same. My aim in the present course is not only to help pupils to write and speak well but also to help them to develop the skills and powers which in whatever field these same children labour in adult life will enable them to function at high level. The great writer is usually a person who while young almost instinctively recognises his creative gifts and the associated skills and because he delights to employ them develops them to a high degree through use. Of such self-help the average child is incapable. His imagination is less easily released. For the development of his skills he needs systematic and sympathetic teaching. Imagination is released by memorable experiences and through contact with creative minds while the teaching and training are largely con- cerned with developing the child’s collecting-skill his form-conceiv ing-skill and his constructing-skill. If we neglect any one of these three sic skills we are apt to find that instead of producing the master aftsman which was our aim we produce only a crafts- man’s labourer.
